I enjoyed learning about the Iroquois stories and traditions from Tom Porter (and his grandmother). There were a few that felt as though they had been overly influenced by Christianity, but even those felt as though there was a kernel of older stories inside them.

I loved the Mohawk approach to disciplining children - seems so much more civilised than what the indigenous children faced when they had to attend Canadian or American schools.

The book includes some Mohawk history and re-tellings of a couple of Mohawk tales, but reads more as an extended thank-you letter than as a meaningful exploration of what makes this venture really different from other back-to-the-land stories.… (altro)
